I'm Not a Man's Own Taker
Dinner


At exactly 18.35 WITA, Evan just finished getting dressed and immediately came out of his room.


As he walked down the stairs, he looked as if he was looking for something.


After seeing his mother in the TV room. A small smile rose on his face. Apparently he was looking for his mother.


"Mother, I'm going to go out first, right?!!" pamit Evan while kissing affectionately next to the cheek of the middle-aged woman.


"Where are you going, son? It's soon dinner time." said Ms. Christiani, the mother of an Evan.


"I'll have dinner outside my mother, with someone. Bye Bun'!!!" evan replied with a moment to stop his steps and look back at his mother. Then came back saying goodbye while waving his hand and passed away.


Looking at her son's behavior, Ms. Listiani frowned. He was a little surprised to see the change of his only child. Because usually, after returning from the office, Evan will only stay in the room to continue his office work. And will be out after dinner. I will return to my room after dinner. He rarely eats dinner out.


And one more thing, almost three years ago Evan rarely showed a bright and happy face like today. All this time, he only showed a flat face without the slightest expression. Even though there seems to be something funny in front of him. Never expect to see that little smile on her cold face.


However, Evan now looks different than usual. Tonight, his face was bright and excited to meet someone who invited him to dinner outside. Uh, rather he's the one who took someone.


"What's wrong with that kid? It's not usually like that." Mother Christiani. While staring at the back of his son who kept away and disappeared behind the door of the house.


After traveling for almost an hour at a fairly high speed. Finally, Evan arrived and immediately parked his car.


As Evan had guessed, the Ellia who made the deal with him had arrived first. At the restaurant where they had been meeting. The car is parked neatly in the parking lot. Right next to Evan parked his car.


Evan slightly glanced at the watch in his hand. There has been shown at 19:40 WITA. With a little run, Evan entered the restaurant. He was afraid that he would make Ellia wait for him for a long time.


After being inside the restaurant, Evan circulated his gaze to look for Ellia's position. And he saw Ellia sitting on one of the chairs right by the fish pond, inside the restaurant. Evan slightly tidied up his clothes that felt messy because of running earlier. Once enough was felt, he stepped closer to Ellia.


"Good night, Miss Ellia! Sorry for making you wait?!" evan said with a friendly smile.


"Good night too Mr. Evan. It's okay, I was only 10 minutes ago. Please sit!!!" ellia replied smiling kindly. To show her only cheek dimples next to it.


"You're okay, right, if I choose a seat here? I like to see the moonlight in the water. It's so soothing." said Ellia.


"It's okay, Miss. I also like calmness." replied Evan did not mind. "This is even better Miss Ellia. Your beautiful face is just more dazzling, when exposed to the reflection of the moonlight." continued the inner Evan fixated on looking at the beautiful face of Ellia.


She had secretly indeed greatly admired Ellia's naturally beautiful face. Since they first met a few years ago. And tonight, Ellia's natural beauty does seem to be growing. Due to the reflection of the moonlight from the pool water that directly hit his face. He made his face look like it was shining tonight.


"Have you ordered your food?" evan asked shortly after waking up from his admiration.


"Yet. I decided to wait for you earlier." replied Ellia while shaking her head slowly.


Feeling himself called, the servant approached.


"Yes, Monsieur and Miss. Can I help you?" ask the waiter to be friendly.


Evan began to say his point. He ordered the food and drink he wanted. Same with Ellia. And don't forget, Evan also ordered a dessert for their dinner.


While waiting for their order to come. Evan kept looking at Ellia's pretty face. To make Ellia a little uncomfortable to look at like that.


"Ecchem...!!! Actually, what do you want to talk to me about, sir?" asked Ellia with a slight thud to start the conversation. "Speak!!! Don't just look at me like that? It makes me uncomfortable." continued Ellia honestly.


"God!!! I'm sorry Miss...?!!"evan said back to his attitude. After hearing Ellia's statement. "Your pretty face makes me forget to say what's next" Evan continued in a soft voice.


However, Ellia faintly heard that remark. Until Ellia looked at him with both eyebrows raised and adrift confused.


"Hem... ??? You said what, sir?" ask Ellia.


"Eh... nothing." said Evan misbehaved by throwing his gaze in the other direction, briefly. "Em.begini Miss, I'd like to ask. Do you really not remember my face? We met once, a few years ago at a counter owned by Aunt Ernawati in Mekar Jaya village. Do you remember that?" he continued to express the purpose of his meeting.


Listen to a statement at once that question. Ellia immediately seemed to think.


"At Aunt Erna's counter???" repeated Ellia while recalling, 'is it true that she had met the man before her at this moment?' thought Ellia.


"You used to work there, right?" ask Evan again to be sure.


"Yes, right." replied Ellia quietly and hesitantly. "Who exactly is this Mr Evan? Why don't I remember it? While he remembered me very much and even he remembered where we met back then." Inner Ellia kept asking.


"Even to this day, I still work there. My job as a real estate agent is just a sideline, sir. And the problem I've met or not with you. I really don't remember. Because all this time and every day. I meet a lot of different people every day" Ellia answered openly and honestly.


And their chatter stopped for a moment because of the arrival of two servants who brought their food. One of them immediately served the food in front of Ellia and Evan according to their orders.


"Please Mr and Miss! Enjoy the food!" said one of the servants politely and kindly.


"Yes, thank you." said Ellia and Evan almost simultaneously.


The two maidservants nodded in response to Ellia and Evan's words. Then withdraw with a little bowing their bodies.


"Excuse me?!" said the two maids were compact and stepped away leaving Ellia and Evan.
